Pave Bank is building the next generation of programmable banking infrastructure. We’re looking for a Senior Security Engineer who is independent, curious, and has a hacker mindset — someone who thinks like an attacker to keep our platform secure. In this role, you will be a critical guardian of Pave Bank, identifying weaknesses, closing loopholes, and empowering our Product and Engineering teams to build and ship quickly without compromising security.
Job Responsibility:
Review Pave Bank’s platform and product code to identify security issues and guide engineers toward secure solutions
Educate engineering and product teams on secure coding and design practices, and why they matter
Write and contribute to internal tools, libraries, and automation to improve security testing and enforcement
Continuously test internal and external applications for vulnerabilities
Stay current on the latest threats and attack techniques, and how they apply to our systems
Assist with third-party application security reviews and penetration tests
Requirements:
An adversary-first mindset when approaching software development
Passion for solving complex security challenges in high-growth startup environments
Self-motivation and a desire to keep learning and improving
Strong understanding of attacker tools and techniques, and how insecure development practices can be exploited
Programming experience in at least one modern language, such as Go, Python, or TypeScript
Clear communication skills, with the ability to explain security concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
General understanding of blockchain technologies and cryptocurrency systems, and their unique security implications
Nice to have:
Experience writing secure backend code in Go
Familiarity with frontend security concerns in TypeScript-based SPAs
Understanding of common authentication and authorization patterns (e.g., OAuth2, Google Zanzibar, RBAC)
Experience working in security within a fast-paced startup or fintech environment
Exposure to smart contract or Web3 security concepts
